The end of the unity show in Israel; Differences between Netanyahu’s cabinet and the army become public

according to the report of the international group Tasnim News, three months have passed since the start of the battle between the Zionist regime and the Palestinian resistance groups in Gaza, the controversial security cabinet meeting once again revealed the political divisions within the Zionist regime. In a meeting on Friday, Hertz Hallowi, the Commander-in-Chief of the Israeli Army, announced the imminent formation of a committee within the army to investigate the factors of the October 7, 2023 failure.

The announcement of this decision while the war is still ongoing It is not finished and the mention of the presence of some former soldiers and politicians caused the anger and attack of some ministers from the Likud party as well as extreme right ministers. The clear result of this meeting was the re-opening of the rifts in the Israeli political sphere after a 93-day hiatus. It seems that as we get closer to the final days of the war, the political and social divides in the occupied territories will increase, and the final decision to end the war will also cause intense controversy.

In Friday’s meeting, which lasted for 3 hours and was finally postponed due to the intervention of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, some members of the Likud party, as well as the leaders of the two far-right parties, Jewish Power and Zionism religious strongly criticized Hallo’s decision to form a truth-seeking committee and some members of this committee; The importance of opening up these gaps at this point in time is important knowing that the US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has also gone to the region and is negotiating to end the war and determine the role of Gaza after the war.

Crying of the right-wing over Halavi

Israeli media reporters who sat outside the room waiting for it to end and claim that they have heard the voice of some cabinet ministers shouting at the commander-in-chief of the Israeli army many times, and some military officials have left the security cabinet meeting in protest of the disgusting behavior of these ministers.

As ​​the meeting began, Holloway announced that he was forming a committee of former defense officials to review the army’s failures in the run-up to the October 7 attacks by Hamas on the southern areas of the occupied territories. Holloway added that one of the programs of the said committee is to investigate the factors that caused the army’s level of readiness to drop and its inability to remain for long hours after the start of the Al-Aqsa storm operation.

The Al-Aqsa storm operation on October 7 led to the death of more than 1200 Israelis and the capture of 240 others, which was the third deadliest battle in the 75-year history of the Zionist regime. On the other hand, in terms of the number of Israeli prisoners, the Al-Aqsa storm operation has been unmatched in history. By stating these figures, Halvi spoke about the necessity of starting the work of such a committee. He was the first Israeli official who attacked Halavi and asked why this action is not postponed until after the war. Public Security Minister Itamar Ben Gower and Finance Minister Betsalel Smutrich as well as Regional Cooperation Minister David M. Salem attacked the Israeli army commander after Rego.

The second phase of the cabinet ministers’ attack on Holloway was about the field of research. The cabinet ministers thought that this investigation is supposed to investigate all the culprits of the October 7 failure at all security, political and military levels, and possibly the false and absurd analyzes and slogans of the Prime Minister, the Minister of War and other officials as one of the factors of the failure. to enter, but Holloway announced after this meeting that the said committee will only consider the reasons for the failure of the army and its lack of preparation.

The return of Saul Mofaz?

On the other hand, the ministers of Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition protested the possible presence of Shaul Mofaz in this committee. Mofaz was the commander-in-chief of the Israeli army from 1998 to 2002. Mofaz entered Ariel Sharon’s cabinet as an independent politician in 2002 and started working as Minister of War. The defense policy of Sharon and Mofaz was heavily criticized by the right wing of Netanyahu’s Likud party in the following years. In September 2005, the Israeli army completely withdrew from Gaza. Some became religious figures. As a result, Sharon resigned from the Likud party and by founding the moderate Kadima party, he took a group of Likud representatives with him to this party. Mofaz also entered the Kadima party with Sharon and stayed in this party until 2016. “https://newsmedia.tasnimnews.com/Tasnim/Uploaded/Image/1402/10/19/14021019194607713291702610.jpg”/>

Therefore, the right wing of Israel considers Shaul Mofaz to be one of the fathers of the policy of unilateral withdrawal from Gaza and opposes him. For this reason, Miri Rego shouted at the army commander: You have chosen Mofaz for this job!? Are you crazy!?

Hollavi also declared in response to the opposing ministers: You want to interfere in military affairs. I don’t need your permission for my plan tomorrow in the army. If I feel there is a need to form a committee to investigate the army’s mistakes in the war, I will definitely form it without your approval so that if, for example, a war with Hezbollah becomes inevitable, we will not repeat the mistakes!”

Yoav Gallant, the Minister of War of the Zionist regime, also defended the army commander in front of the cabinet ministers and said that although he was not aware of Halevi’s decision to form such a committee, he fully supports and gives him the right to use whoever he wants on this committee.

It seems that Netanyahu’s cabinet ministers are very worried if this fact-finding committee, the investigation starts within the army, public institutions and ministries will be forced to do the same. which was formed in Israel’s political sphere (albeit minimally) at the start of the war, is disintegrating at the beginning of the fourth month of the war, and it is expected that the war will gradually lose its magical power to keep the ongoing cases against Netanyahu silent.

As ​​the war drags on, the gap between the Israeli army and Netanyahu’s cabinet will gradually deepen, especially on the issue of the future of Gaza and the role of the regime. Zionism in this line will once again cause differences between the two sides.
